Justin Jackson (calf) is officially inactive for Monday night.

Jackson continues to deal with his calf injury, and he was expected to be out after he was listed as doubtful on the final Week 11 injury report. The second-year running back does not need to be owned in redraft leagues.

Dak Prescott lights up the Lions in Week 11.

Prescott was 29/46 for 444 yards and three touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 35-27 Week 11 victory at Detroit. Prescott hit Randall Cobb, Tony Pollard, and Ezekiel Elliott on his three scores, and No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper didn’t even do a ton of damage through the air (three receptions for 38 yards). Prescott now has three 400-yard passing games this season (most in the league), and he’s earning a ton of money by playing out the final year of his contract. Detroit has one of the league’s worst pass defenses, and things should get a lot tougher next Sunday in Foxboro; but fantasy owners obviously have to be thrilled with the way Prescott is playing this season.

Marlon Mack suffered a hand fracture, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport says the severity is still to be determined, so we should know more about how much time Mack will miss after more testing. Mack obviously will not play on Thursday night against the Texans barring a surprising development, but hopefully Indy’s starting running back doesn’t miss much more time than that. Jonathan Williams had over 100 yards for the Colts today and could be set to lead the backfield in Week 12, but perhaps Jordan Wilkins will get back into the lineup after missing today’s game.

The Lions released Paul Perkins.

The Lions are going in another direction at running back, promoting Bo Scarbrough from the practice squad. Perkins was cut and then brought back by Detroit earlier this season, so that could certainly happen again. He does not need to be held in fantasy leagues, though.

LeSean McCoy is active for Week 11.

McCoy is again playing for the Chiefs after he was a healthy scratch last week, and there’s a chance the veteran running back (who is a favorite of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid) gets a good amount of playing time after Damien Williams missed the last two practices of the week due to a personal matter. McCoy is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups until he gets more playing time, though.

John Brown lights up the Dolphins in Week 11.

Brown caught nine passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills’ win. The first touchdown was a 40-yarder down the right sideline, where “Smokey” broke a tackle on his way to the end zone; and the second touchdown was on a nine-yard crossing route, where Brown did a great job of catching the pass despite it being tipped before getting to him. Brown has at least four receptions and 50 yards in every game this season (one of two players, along with the Saints’ Michael Thomas), and he also has this type of massive upside with quarterback Josh Allen. Next week against the Broncos is a tough matchup, but Brown is still a solid option in fantasy lineups.

Josh Oliver (back) is questionable to return for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars have struggled offensively today, and Oliver has just one reception for five yards. Hopefully the rookie tight end is able to return to the field soon.
